 The Division of Arnor   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
This statement could imply that the Kings of Arthedain had the ‘just claim’ not only because of the waning of the Line of Isildur in the other two kingdoms, but because their ancestor in the original dispute, Amlaith, had the superior claim.
With the King dead and the succession disputed, it would be the duty of the chief ministers, princes and lords of the realm to act on behalf of the crown.
The fact that the first King of Arthedain's name in the Line of Kings is given as 'Amlaith of Fornost' adds colour to this invention: he is remembered by later generations as the king who moved the royal seat to Fornost.

To the help of the king they sent some archers who never returned; ad others went also to the battle in which Angmar was overthrown (Of which more is said in the annals of the South).
Arthedain should have become stronger for a short time, but this gain must have been wiped out in the Great Plague of 1636.
There was simply nothing left to be king of, and even though the Shire-Hobbits rebuilt their land they seem to have taken their time in getting organized even after Aranarth declared himself a chieftain and not a king.

 Aragorn's Ancestry
Aragorn's claim to the throne of Arnor can be traced through the tables of the Rangers, Kings of Arthedain and Kings of Arnor.
The distinction is made clear by the argument over the throne of Gondor which arose after the marriage of the last Arnorian king, Arvedui of Arthedain, to Firiel, daughter of Ondoher (the 31st king of Gondor).
Whatever their exact kinship, kings of Numenor had to be of the Line of Elros.

 Science Fair Projects - Talk:Kings of Arthedain
On the other hand, check Kings of Gondor: all kings were eventually given a (small) article.
There's not really much point in separate articles unless other places have links into a specific ruler - if the only links are from predecessor and successor, you can reduce some maintenance overhead by agglomerating multiple people into an article where their info can all sit next to each other.
Yet it would be a deviation from what is already established practice: you can follow the southern line all the way from Elros through the Kings of Númenor on to the Kings of Gondor to Eärnur, but as it is now the northern line is unfinished.
